‘An entire society now a graveyard’
US bombs are responsible for the decimation of Gaza. Biden could still stop it. Instead he’s extended aid, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
FACING ANNIHILATION: Palestinians line up to receive the little UNRWA aid that trickles through in Nusairat refugee camp, Gaza, on November 5, 2024

“ACROSS northern Gaza there is no way of telling where the destruction starts or ends. No matter from what direction you enter Gaza City, homes, hospitals, schools, health clinics, mosques, apartments, restaurants — all completely flattened. An entire society now a graveyard.”

Those were the words posted by eye witness Louise Wateridge accompanying her November 6 video as she drove through a desecrated landscape of sand and rubble.

Wateridge works for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the vital UN agency that provides aid to now desperate Palestinians as they seek to escape complete erasure from the genocidal forces of the Israeli government.
